Complaints of outages for Mayweather and McGregor

Complaints of outages for Mayweather and McGregor



The fight of the decade is underway between boxing great Floyd 'Money' Mayweather and Ultimate Fighting Championship fighter Conor McGregor.

But unfortunately for some fighting fans, they'll be cut-off from the action.

According to some spectators on social media Saturday evening, complaints of online servers being 'overwhelmed' and subscription television service being down are being made.



'The biggest fight of this century & "the servers are overwhelmed" & pay per view is down. That's ridiculous, & so is lack of a refund,' San Francisco Chronicle reporter Carolyne Zinko tweeted.

Victims of the system malfunction who apparently subscribed with the UFC to watch the fight were also informed that they would not receive a refund despite the outages.

'Am I getting a refund after this?' one subscriber asks a customer service representative who posted his exchange on Twitter after experiencing disruptions in his service.

He adds: 'Everyone accessing UFC TV is experiencing the same problem.'

The person communicating with the subscriber answers that 'Unfortunately we cannot give a refund. We can cancel your subscription. I'm sorry.'

Another person using the Twitter handle @wcBrown41795 also complained about disruptions in his satellite service.

'@DIRECTVService mayweather promotions is gonna be calling asking for his money. What are y'all going to say? Our system crashed!!,' wcbrown wrote.

Mayweather is a heavy favorite to win the bout against the less experienced McGregor, which is taking place T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
